Re: [Caml-list] Compiling OCaml on win64

[William Smith <bills@emu-bark.com>]

Hi,

I had problems like that.   One thing that happened was that I wasn't 
using the right version of flexlink.  My Cygwin installed version 0.26 
but you need 0.29 or later

Another related problem I found was that the README.win32 says to set up 
PATH="$VCPATH:$FLPATH:$PATH"  in .msenv32. I found that the right code 
for that is PATH="$FLPATH:$VCPATH:$PATH" to help insure that you get the 
right flexlink.
